Advancing Climate-adaptive Designs (Phase II)
The Estuary Program and NEIWPCC supports design consultants to partner with a community to select elements from their Climate-adaptive Design studio and develop them to an implementable, community supported project.
Design elements chosen for the project must meet the goals of the Climate-adaptive Design process to increase community resilience to sea-level rise and climate change through an engaged stakeholder process, while considering technical, regulatory and funding feasibility. Projects must also enhance habitat value while reducing the impacts of shoreline and/or stormwater flooding.
